Hardware
- The self-o-mat software typically runs on Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and on Raspberry Pi 4 single board computers; the operating system and software applications are stored on an SD card
- The self-o-mat kits provided by x-tech UG are based on them. SD card images for the base installation are provided under https://help.self-o-mat.de/books/downloads-anleitungen-fotobox-software/page/fotobox-software.
- self-o-mat kits provided by x-tech UG use an 10.1" IPS Panel with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels
- @maehw also uses an 10.1" screen with a resolution of 1280 × 800 (by Waveshare); it connects via HDMI and also provides capacitive touch; the touch screen functionality is provided as USB HMI device but should be deactivated (for now)
- Either use the controller board contained in the self-o-mat kits provided by x-tech UGor a DIY solution
- Connects the arcade button and the LED ring to a Raspberry Pi
- Powers the screen and the Raspberry Pi and connects the on/off switch
- has its own wiki page: Controller board
- Arcade button (trigger)
- On/off switch
- LED ring (to show countdown)
- Power supplies
- Cables
A list of cameras that have successfully been tested with self-o-mat usage has been started in the git repository's README.md file. The list of supported cameras can be continued here.
Printers are managed and configured by CUPS.
The Canon SELPHY CP-1300 has been recommended on the x-tech self-o-mat help pages. It is a consumer grade photo printer which costs about 130 €.
The Canon SELPHY CP-1200 is another consumer grade photo printer which costs about 130 €. The CP-1300 and the CP-1200 should be very similar. The CP-1300 has a bigger display and a different menu design.
Make sure to select the correct media size and landscape orientation: Hagaki (100x148mm / 3.94"x5.83") (from Japanese for 'postcard') is typically the size of the photo paper; otherwise scaling effects may take place. Printing might otherwise take longer and yield unexpected results!
The Mitsubishi Electric CP-D70DW has been recommended on the x-tech self-o-mat help pages. It is a professional grade photo printer which costs about 1000 €.
